I was glad I was aboard a 2019 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special when we hit appalling weather and narrowly avoided a tornado in the Midwest of the US of A. The big tourer is as sure-footed as anything else on the road. And it needed to be. I was on the first day of a media …

Black is the new black for the Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special tourers with standard BOOM! Box infotainment systems. Like the Road King Special introduced earlier this year, the two new Special tourers feature black, black and more black. It’s black around the headlight, engine guard, forks, handlebars, controls, mirrors, indicators, tank …

The most popular of the Harley-Davidson Touring range is the Street Glide Special and it is easy to see why with the new Milwaukee Eight engine adding to its attraction.

Sometimes I think my job is pretty good – I’m currently in New Zealand riding a Harley Rushmore …

Today we head to New Zealand for two short weeks to explore mainly the South Island by motorcycle. We’ve ridden and driven in New Zealand on several occasions and have yet to be disappointed with the roads and scenery. This time we’re riding a Harley-Davidson Street Glide hired from Auckland Harley-Davidson. We’ll ride down to …

That’s a difficult question to answer because Harley-Davidson CVO (Custom Vehicle Operations) motorcycles are built in limited numbers. I may as well ask what price do you put on bragging rights and exclusivity? Harley rotates the models that get the CVO treatment, usually having about four CVO models lasting two years.

Put simply, the Harley-Davidson Road Glide has the best aerodynamics of any touring bike I have ever ridden. The big tourer missed out on the Rushmore Project launch last year because Harley says they had so much on their plate with eight new models.
